Brian Prescott was born in 1960 in Aintree, Liverpool, where he has remained to this day, married and brought up his family. After 36 years in retail, the horror and despair that is enforced redundancy forced Brian to seek solace either in the book or the bottle. He chose the book. Brian is embarking on a new career as a NVQ assessor, but will always continue to find time for writing and illustrating, which he finds most rewarding and therapeutic.
